God Is Merciful - Day 18 of 30

Welcome to Day 18 of 30, incorporating the names and attributes of our God into our understanding and our following God. One title God wears proudly is that he is a merciful God.

18. Merciful

God’s merciful compassion is infinite and inexhaustible. Through Christ, He took the judgment that was rightfully yours and placed it on His own shoulders. He waits and works now for all people to turn to Him and to live under His justification.

Scripture:

Deuteronomy 4:31 - (for the LORD your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.

Nehemiah 9:31 - 31 Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.

Hebrews 2:17 - 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

Prayer: Merciful God, thank You that Your mercy doesn’t change based on my performance, but is who You are. The weight and payment for sin You took from my shoulders and put on Yours is a freedom I barely comprehend, but I thank You. Show me where I need to show mercy to others and help me live that out.
